The Bob Lazar Fraud
December 1997
By Stanton Friedman
Incredible claims have been made about Bob Lazar for years. He
supposedly is a physicist with an MS in Physics from MIT and an MS in
Electronics from the California Institute of Technology. He was a
"Scientist" for Los Alamos National Laboratory, and obtained a job
back-engineering UFOs at a very secret site at Area 51 in Nevadathrough
Dr. Edward Teller.
Supposedly he figured out how saucers work using Element 115 --
matter/anti-matter, etc. He was able to steal a small quantity of 115
from the 500 pounds available, but this was stolen back. He came forward
with his story despite death threats because he thought the public has a
right to know. Videotapes are available with his claims.
It is all BUNK.
Not one shred of evidence has been put forth to support this story: No
diplomas, no resumes, no transcripts, no memberships in professional
organizations, no papers, no pages from MIT or Caltech yearbooks. He
also mentioned, in a conversation with me, California State University
at Northridge and Pierce Junior College -- also in the San Fernando
Valley, California. I checked all four schools. Pierce said he had taken
electronics courses in the late 1970s. The other three schools never
heard of him.
The page from the Los Alamos Nat'l Lab phone book with Lazar's name on
it clearly states that it includes employees of the DOE and outside
contractor, Kirk Meyer. "K/M" follows Lazar's name. This proves he
worked for K/M, not LANL.
I checked with LANL's personnel department for Lazar's name and that of
an old colleague. They found my guy, but not Lazar.
He was publicly asked when he got his MS from MIT. He said "Let me see
now, I think it was probably 1982." Nobody getting an MS from MIT would
not know the year immediately. He was asked to name some of his profs,
He said: "Let's see now, Bill Duxler will remember me from Caltech." I
located Duxler. He's a Pierce physics prof, and never taught at Caltech.
Lazar was registered in one of his courses at the same time Lazar was
supposedly at MIT! Nobody who can go to MIT goes to Pierce JC, not to
mention the rather long commute between LA and Cambridge, Mass.
I checked his High School. He graduated in August, not with his class.
The only science course he took was chemistry. He ranked 261 out of 369,
which is in the bottom third. There is no way he would have been
admitted by MIT or Caltech. An MS in Physics from MIT requires a thesis.
No such thesis exists at MIT, and he is not on a commencement
list.
The notion that the government wiped his CIVILIAN records clean is
absurd.
When he declared bankruptcy in the mid 1980s for almost $300,000.00 he
listed his occupation as a self-employed film processor. With MS degrees
from MIT and Caltech? Caltech would not have accepted him for an MS
program if he already had one from MIT.
There is no evidence that any 115 has been created anywhere. Based on
what we know about all other elements over #100, it would certainly have
been radioactive with a short half life, and 500 pounds could not have
been accumulated. His scheme sounds good, but makes no real sense
especially in view of how difficult it would be to add protons to
#115.
He could not have gotten a Compartmentalized Security clearance having
operated a brothel. His W-2 form from the Department of Naval
Intelligence totals under $1000.00, at most a week's pay for a
scientist. You can't get a security clearance in a week.
Scientists leave trails. Lazar is NOT a scientist. He couldn't even answer
scientific questions put to him. An excellent review of Bob's "Physics" can be
seen at .
THIS IS PURE BUNK. BUNK. BUNK.
